In the film, Hermann Kallenbach is alive in India at or near independence in 1947. He died in 1945.

In the film, the Calcutta killings happen after Indian independence in August 1947. They actually happened in August 1946.

Footage of a speeding steam train is shown during Gandhi's visit to Britain in 1931. The UK had 4 railway companies at the time (LMS, LNER, SR, and GWR), all of which proudly displayed their initials on their engine tenders. The train shown displays the logo of British Rail, formed in 1948.

An extra wears sneakers.

The car burning in the Calcutta riot scenes (between 1946 and 1948) is an Ambassador, an Indian-made copy of a 1954 Morris Oxford.

High Plains Drifter. 1973, Starring 



Hollywood Suite, 2 April 2026. Soundtrack: Composer - Dee Barton. 

Trivia: 

The character of Marshal Jim Duncan was played by stuntman Buddy Van Horn, a long-time stunt coordinator for Clint Eastwood, in order to create some ambiguity over whether he and The Stranger are one and the same.

Anachronisms: 

When The Stranger gives the Indian children the jars of candy in the general store, the jars have white plastic seals. Plastic was unknown in the 19th century.

When the stranger rides into town, huge tire tracks like those made by a truck are seen on the road.

All houses in the city (Lago) have modern window glass of the type float glass and not "handmade" as they were until the mid-19th century.

Upon his arrival in Lago, the Stranger rides close to an enclosure, where hay and straw bales are clearly visible. Straw bales were invented after the mechanization of agriculture, not yet initiated in the XIX century.

Mordecai wears crossed bandoliers filled with .45-70 rifle rounds. Close up shots show these to be loaded with Jacketed Soft Point bullets, which were not available until the 20th century.

After the town has been painted red, a shot pans past the bell tower atop the church. The (lack of) application of paint on the bell tower edges shows it was painted with a spray gun. Also, many of the buildings have a very thin and even coating of red paint applied. Again, obviously done with a spray gun. This technology would not have been available at the time.

Anachronisms: 

Kris is playing a Game Boy, claiming he's unable to beat Bowser. The film is set in 1994; none of the Super Mario Bros. games for the Game Boy in existence at the time had Bowser as their villain. Additionally, the sound effects heard are from the NES, not the Game Boy.

In one scenes, Mirage transforms into a Formula One race car. However, he transforms into a model of the race car that used between 2009 and 2013, even though the film takes place in 1994.

When Elena is using the PC, the operating system is Windows 95, which wasn't available until August 1995, but the film is suppose to be 1994.

The song "Hypotize", recorded in 1996, by The Notorious B.I.G. plays but was not released until March the 4th 1997 on the Bad Boy and Arista labels.

Noah has a Wu-Tang flag in his bedroom that uses the version of the Wu-Tang logo introduced in 1995, but the movie takes place in 1994.

The film is set in June of 1994. At one point Elena sings TLC's "Waterfalls." The album that song is from, CrazySexyCool, wasn't released until November of that year.

During the museum fight, Battletrap throws a weapon on a green sedan and throws the car at Arcee however, the car is a Skoda Octavia which began production in November 1996.

Mirage makes a Dumb and Dumber (1994) reference ("I like it a lot" mimicking Jim Carrey's delivery). The film is set in June of 1994, but Dumb and Dumber (1994) didn't hold its [Los Angeles] Premiere until December of that year.

At various points of Noah and Mirage being chased by the police a yellow 1998 Toyota RAV4 is shown either driving around or parked. while the JDM model RAV4 began production in May 1994 1 month before the movie begins the U.S. models began production in March 1995.

Set in 1994, Noah uses the phrase, "Show me the money". While not impossible that he might say those words, using the phrase in this way did not enter popular culture until Jerry Maguire (1996).

Set in 1994, Kris says the golden rule is "Bros before hoes". This phrase did not enter popular culture, where a child his age would pick it up, until 2001.
